Here are some pictures of her driving stance. LaToya the Sequoia has a console between the driver and passenger seats, and this has become Zanna’s “place”. She rode and slept on that console, between us, the entire trip. Here's a picture - pardon the Crackberry quality.
It was so funny when ThatManILove came through the door Christmas Eve – Zanna didn’t bark at him. She went right up to him and started jumping up on him, excited to see him. Both ThatManILove and I were SO pleased. Even though she’d only been around him for a couple of weeks before he left for the PA, she remembered. Dogs are amazing.
Saturday night, we met John & Suzan, Gilbert & Sandra (Sandra’s a lurker on this blog, so y’all shout out to her!) for Mexican food at Grapevine, then went to our hotel. We arose bright and early yesterday morning, and went to Love Field to catch our flight to the PA. Which we did, barely. I forgot to allow for the huge holiday travel and associated bag check lines. Eeeeek! We boarded the plane with only 10 minutes to spare. Thank God, that's good enough for Southwest Airlines!
With only a little drama at Chicago (we pulled away from the airport, only to pull right back in and deplane due to a mechanical failure, then change planes entirely), we were soon on our way to the PA. (Southwest Airlines Seriously Rocks. Just saying. It would have taken Crapinental 2 days to get us out of that airport, and they would have blamed that mechanical failure on God's Will or weather, no refunds, no boarding, sorry.) We arrived in Pittsburgh around 6 p.m., got our baggage, and went to supper at Outback.
And now, we’re in Clearfield, PA. We’re going to pack up ThatManILove’s things and ship some home. In the next couple of days, we’ll be driving back to Texas, where we’ll celebrate our anniversary.
And for those inquiring minds that want to know, are ThatManILove and I Sync’d up? Oh, yes. And we're glad to finally be together again. All is well in our world.
All is well.

Awww that is so cute!!!! I love it! Dogs are the BEST. Even though I have cats, I wish I could have a house full of doggies too.
She is so cute! Although I'm sure you don't wanna hear that about your hunting dog. LOL
One time I taught my dad's hunting dog to shake hands and when he took her hunting, she ran up to everybody wanting to shake. LOL I wasn't allowed to "train" the dogs anymore.
Carolina Girl - they are great. I can't imagine my life without these dogs.
Tiffany - she is a cutie! And Zanna not only shakes, she will give you 5! You can train my dogs anytime. Our trainers want the dogs obedience trained before they get them for hunter training.
So glad all is well in your world!! Don't forget to call if you come thru here! Can't wait to see you!!!! Love you!
Glad to hear you're back in sync! The puppers is too cute!
I love Southwest. I agree they ROCK. Much better than any other airline. Be safe driving back.
What a beautiful dog! :-D Mine love to ride in the car, too!
I'm so glad things are good for you, love THAT DANG DOG OF YOURS!
Glad to hear that all is well. : )
That's one "perdy" pup!
(p.s. thanks for the prayers!)
Happy New Year Janie
Jill - I'll call you when we get close and we can plan up! Love you too!
The Wife - syncing up is Good.
Jenni - she's a good pup.
Amelia - Zanna sends her love, too. Well, yeah. Thru the trainer at Decatur.
Elaine - no problema, chica. I'll be praying. And that Zanna girl knows she's a beauty!
I just love the name of that airport, Lovefield...sounds so funky...
Ah, girl. Don't ya know that Southwest is the LUV airline?
That's even their stock symbol.
Love is all we need!
She is beautiful!
And SO glad you're sync'd.....
It's been so long since I've been, I'm not sure I remember how.....
Glad that you are all sorted. My friend went through the same thing when her partner went away for a couple of weeks. Very cool that Zanna will give you five...Wonder if I can train Mac lol.
Rudey dog loves to go anywhere I do. She is the best 50 bucks I ever spent. I know how hard it must be to drop one of your babies off and leave!
Your cup runneth over! :)
Thank you for your sweet words on my blog. You are a doll!!
Dogs are certainly wonderful companions!
Adorable!!!Tomorrow I get my first puppy ever.
And, happy to hear about the syncing.:-)
I love dogs... Am planning to kidnap yours,,, She is soo cute.. Just kidding about the kidnapping part!
YES for syncing!!! What else is there in life really???
Your doggie is so cute!!! I love doggies!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR my new friend!!! Love ya!!!
Well will he be home for a while now??? I'm glad that you had a good time! UMMMMMM I don't honestly think I would have gotten on a plane at all if I had to de-board becuz of mechanical failure! YIKES!
Our pouch Sarah loves to ride in the car too! Hope the time passes quickly! :(

Great stuff -- What a beauty she is . How will Zack be with her gone ??
We all know how you were with your buddy gone hahah
I don't know how you stay sync'd with yourself - so much coming and going!
It's very GOOD that everything is right in your world...what a great way to start 2009! As long as you've "packed" that is lol. Have a great one!
I totally understand the "syncing" deal. It was especially hard for me when the kids were still home...when dad was gone, I was the supreme authority, but when he got home, abdicating was sometimes a little dificil! (For all of us!)
It is still sometimes funky around here, particularly a day or two before he leaves on an extended trip as I am stretching my "alone" muscles and getting into total decision making on my own mode...not my favorite thing. It sometimes takes me a week to "sync up" when TBO gets back.
I have talked to several women whose hubbies were in the military and they have the same issues when hubby is on TDY or overseas and they are the ones left "in charge" while this is going on.
I have discovered, too, that I am learning not to spazz out when things happen now. I am stronger than I think, although I sure do miss TBO while he's gone.
This is a LOVELY blog!
LOL... Zanna is so cute in her little spot :)
Your dogs are beautiful.
Aww sweet!!! And I bet it's bliss being back together!!!!! That was a long time!! Have fun on your drive
:)

I am so sorry I missed you.
damn. That's just my kind of luck, girl.
I totally get the syncing thing. We are going though it every week when I get back into town. I am so totally homesick!
I almost went nuts when Pepsi was at puppy school (we were not allowed to visit for 10 days)
Zanna is SOOOOOO pretty!
Happy New Year!
Beautiful baby, I mean pup! Glad you made it to PA. I totally agree with you re Southwest Airlines. They rock even when they probably shouldn't.

Out of that entire post you barely mentioned mexican Food and now all I want to do is eat Tamales. Damn food addiction.
I have a huge affection for hunting dogs as the first book I can remember reading as a kid was 'Where The Red fern Grows"
Glad you are all together.
Tami - thanks, ma'am!
Pacing - I know. Mexican food. Yummmm. You'll have to get you some of those tamales. Or better yet, send me your address, and next time I'm in Pecos, I'll buy you some of those green chile tamales and mail them to you!
No kidding!
